Here’s a photo of the fishing boats moored at Rocky Neck during the one beautiful days we’ve had in a while. I guess they’ll be there till June when they can go fishing again. What a shame. —Paul

From lilmsmuffe:
Here is a photo I took of my Gloucester sticker at the Red Sox vs. Angels game this Saturday in Anaheim, CA.
Our friend Damon helping out the sailboats that are at the floating dock off the State Fish Pier. One of the boats #13 capsized while practicing near the Paint Factory. The two kids in the boat righted it themselves and climbed aboard all were safe. The Coast Guard was just checking too see if they were all right.

I was recently photographing an event at the Elks in Gloucester and saw these on the table. I did not try one but looked very interesting. Are they Shrimp Brownies?
How Walker Creek furniture is made
We use mortise-and-tenon joinery instead of dowels, and smooth our boards with a hand plane rather than a belt sander. We use only solid wood, no chip-board or veneer. While most furniture is finished with a sprayed-on polyurethane or colored lacquer, we finish every piece by hand using linseed oil, shellac and milk paint, just like 18th century furniture, so the surface feels as good as it looks.

Many days you can drive by the State Fish Piere on a beautiful day and the boats will be tied to the pier. 10-15 years ago you never would have seen boats tied up on such beautiful days. The guys would be out fishing.
Between Federal Regulations, and an aging fleet of skippers you see this more and more. We have a handful of great young skippers coming up but it is but a handful. It’s going to be scary in another ten years when the last of the big generation of skippers are retired and the permits that they fish are gobbled up and consolidated. This huge harbor under the current regulations will have great difficulty supporting such a contracted industrial base.
